This is based on a true event.

The Laurier Palace Theatre fire, sometimes known as the "Saddest fire" or the Laurier Palace Theatre crush, was a fire that occurred in a movie theatre in Montreal, Canada on Sunday, January 9, 1927. In all seventy-eight people died in the ensuing mayhem. The theatre was located at 3215 Saint Catherine Street East, just east of Dézéry St.

This short story tells the story of a boy who lost his older brother in the fire.
